The deepest part of the Earth, the Mariana Trench, is located in the western Pacific Ocean, reaching a depth of 10,911 meters, more than 2 kilometers deeper than the height of Mount Everest. There is a mysterious legend about such a deep trench that claims that the cries of hell can be heard from the depths of this trench. Is this statement valid? Let's explore it together.
1. Tales of Hell
The Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the Earth, has always been a spectacle in people's eyes, but due to its geographical location, the Mariana Trench has been very limited in human history for exploration and research. But that doesn't dampen people's growing mystery and imagination. Since humans began exploring this trench in the early 20th century, many stories and legends have emerged about the cry of hell.
This eerie sound is said to come from the depths of the Mariana Trench, a sound that resembles a sigh or scream, and its voice is either very roaring or hoarse and hoarse. Many believe that these voices are cries from the hellish world at the bottom of the trench, conveying the pain and bepulsion of the devil or soul. It is even believed that this sound can only be heard on dark and windy nights.
2. The truth is revealed
Scientists used underwater probes to explore the bottom of the Mariana Trench on a large scale in order to collect complete data and hydroacoustics. They heard some very wonderful sounds, but there was no message from hell in those sounds. This shows that the trench does not have a so-called cry from hell.
In addition, scientists studied the noise of the ocean by deploying audio detectors at depths and found that the Mariana Trench is a very quiet place in normal times. Based on long-term observations and recordings of the Mariana Trench, scientists have found that the trench only makes sound when an undersea earthquake or tsunami occurs.
The Mariana Trench was formed by the collision of the Eurasian and Pacific plates, which are areas of strong geological activity, with frequent volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. The sound emitted by the trench is actually a manifestation of plate collision, friction and the release of energy.
3. The origin of the legend
The depths of the ocean are full of mysteries and unknowns, and there are still many difficulties in human exploration of the deep sea, all of which have further aroused people's curiosity.
In fact, the legend of the cry of hell coming out of the Mariana Trench is related to the fear and uneasiness of humans about the unknown. Faced with such an unfathomable, unknown and mysterious trench, anyone can lose their sense of security. At the same time, influenced by their own psychology, religious beliefs and cultural practices, people often imagine that monsters or demons lurk and live in some mysterious areas, not to mention the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the earth.
conclusion
The Mariana Trench is the deepest trench on Earth and has long been rumored to emit "hell cries", but scientists have found that these sounds actually come from vibrations during plate movement. As with many other mysteries in the ocean, our understanding of the depths of the ocean is still very limited. However, scientists will continue to explore the mysterious world in the depths of the ocean and make more contributions to the development of the world and human civilization.
